Many of the contributions present new data collected in fieldwork. The geographic area covered is Western and Central Asia where varieties of Iranian, Semitic and Turkic languages have entered into many different types of contact. The intricate linguistic contact situations demonstrate highly interesting convergence phenomena.Languages in contactMiddle EastLanguages in contactAsia, CentralAreal linguisticsLanguages in contactLanguages in contactAreal linguistics.409/.5617.23bclCsato Eva Agnes388655Isaksson Bo1191364Jahani Carina644520MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910817649003321Linguistic convergence and areal diffusion3970766UNINA
